FAQs About Horse Rugs & Accessories
What rug weight should I choose?
Match rug fill to temperature and coat. Use no-fill or 50 g for mild days, 100–200 g for cool weather and 300 g+ for cold conditions.
How do I measure my horse for a rug?
Measure from the centre of the chest to the point of the rump. Compare to the brand’s size chart and check shoulder/wither clearance.
What’s the difference between turnout and stable rugs?
Turnout rugs are waterproof and breathable for paddock use. Stable rugs are warm and breathable but not waterproof, so best used indoors.
How can I prevent shoulder rubbing?
Ensure correct fit, adjust straps evenly, and use a shoulder guard or silky lining to reduce friction.
Can I reproof a turnout rug?
Yes. Clean with rug-safe wash then apply a suitable reproofer to restore water resistance. Always follow product instructions.
